What the club is: one of Malaysia's turf clubs

The Selangor Turf Club is one of Malaysia's turf clubs, operating alongside the Perak Turf Club and the Penang Turf Club. These clubs form a network that shares racing and betting operations. The Perak Turf Club, for example, operates off-course betting on the races conducted at the other Malaysian turf clubs in Penang and Selangor, and on overseas racing clubs in Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore¹.

This means that if you are in Malaysia and want to bet on Selangor races, you do not need to be at the Selangor racecourse itself. You can place bets through the off-course betting network, which is run by the other turf clubs. The Perak Turf Club is one of the clubs that provides this service¹.

The Malaysian turf club network is part of the broader Asian racing scene. Racing clubs in the region, such as the Royal Calcutta Turf Club and the Royal Western India Turf Club, offer similar bet types, including Win, Place, Quinella, Tanala, Treble and Jackpot³. The Royal Western India Turf Club also offers a Super Jackpot, Forecast, and a Second Horse Pool³. These are standard bet types across many Asian racing jurisdictions.

For a broader look at racing in the region, you can read about the Perak Turf Club, which is part of the same Malaysian network and handles off-course betting on Selangor races.

Race day fixtures and session times

Race days at Malaysian turf clubs are typically held on Saturdays and Sundays. The Perak Turf Club, which is part of the same network, holds race meetings that range from one to three days per month, held on Saturdays and Sundays¹. The racing season runs from January 1 to December 31 each year¹.

On a typical race day, there are between 8 and 10 races, with a 30 minute interval between races¹. The racing hours for the Perak Turf Club are listed as Saturday and Sunday from 12 noon to 6:00pm¹. However, individual fixtures can start earlier. A recent fixture listed for the Perak Turf Club shows a time of 9:55am to 5:00pm for an AUS Race Card⁵.

If you are planning to attend a race day, it is worth checking the latest fixture list. The Perak Turf Club's latest fixture shows a date of 26 Sep (Sat) with a time of 9:55am to 5:00pm⁶. The location page also lists the next race day as 26 Sep (Sat), 9:55am to 5:00pm, AUS Race Card⁴.

At Sonoda Racecourse in Japan, bet sales start at 10:00 for daytime meetings, 11:45 for summer meetings, and 12:00 for night racing advance sales⁹. Himeji Racecourse starts sales at 13:45 for night racing and 11:45 for summer racing¹⁰. These are useful comparisons if you are used to racing in other parts of Asia.

Bet types you can place

The bet types available at Malaysian turf clubs follow the standard patterns seen across Asian racing. At the Royal Calcutta Turf Club, the principal bet types are:

• Win
• Place
• Quinella
• Tanala
• Treble
• Jackpot³

The Royal Western India Turf Club offers Win, Place, Jackpot, Super Jackpot, Treble, Forecast, Quinella, Tanala and a Second Horse Pool³.

In Hong Kong, the Jockey Club offers a range of betting facilities and bet types, including the Banker bet, which is available for Forecast, Place Forecast, Tierce, Trio and Quartet⁵. The Banker bet allows you to select one or more horses as bankers, which must finish in the specified positions, with other selections filling the remaining places⁵.

For football betting, the Hong Kong Jockey Club offers Same Game All Up, which allows you to place All Up bets within the same match on 2-legged or 3-legged pre-defined combinations, formed by different bet types such as Home/Away/Draw, HiLo, Corner Taken HiLo and First Scorer¹¹. This is a different type of betting from horse racing, but it shows the range of options available in the region.

If you are new to racing, the basic bet types are the best place to start. Win and Place bets are the simplest. Quinella and Tanala bets offer higher returns but are harder to win. Treble and Jackpot bets require you to pick the winners of multiple races, which is much harder but can pay out significantly more.

Off-course betting on Penang and Perak races, including Wednesday nights

One of the most useful things about the Malaysian turf club network is that you can bet on races at other clubs without traveling to their racecourses. The Perak Turf Club operates off-course betting on the races conducted at the other Malaysian turf clubs in Penang and Selangor, and on overseas racing clubs in Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore¹.

This means that if you are in Selangor, you can place bets on Penang and Perak races through the off-course betting network. The same applies if you are in Perak or Penang: you can bet on Selangor races. The network is designed to give racing fans across Malaysia access to a wider range of races¹.

The off-course betting service covers overseas racing clubs in Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore¹. This gives you access to some of the biggest racing jurisdictions in the Asia-Pacific region. Australian racing is particularly popular, with the Perak Turf Club listing an AUS Race Card as a recent fixture⁵.

As for Wednesday night racing, the Malaysian turf clubs generally hold their race meetings on Saturdays and Sundays¹. Wednesday night racing is not a standard feature of the Malaysian racing calendar. However, Wednesday night racing is common in other Asian jurisdictions. In Japan, for example, night races and Midnight Keirin can be purchased through the Keirin online service¹². Japanese boat race venues also offer Night sessions, which run from around 2:30 PM to around 8:30 PM⁸.

If you are looking for night racing, you would need to look at venues outside Malaysia. The Malaysian turf clubs focus on daytime racing on weekends. The Perak Turf Club's racing hours are listed as Saturday and Sunday from 12 noon to 6:00pm¹, which is a daytime schedule.

For off-course betting, the Perak Turf Club is the main point of contact. Its address is Racecourse, Jalan Raja Di Hilir, 30350 Ipoh, Malaysia², and its phone number is 605-254 8084². You can also check the club's location page for the latest fixtures and race day information⁴.
